The Sunday Game

[Zulu]

Moaning on the airwaves is not going to improve anything, it'll more than likely do the exact opposite. Saying a 20 year old whose starting on an IC team capable if making a Leinster final will never be more than an average footballer is both insulting and premature. I would imagine it will have the effect of pushing Lee towards the footballers if a choice has to be made.

I'd agree he didn't need to make that comment, totally unnecessary and probably counterproductive if he wants Chin to throw his lot in with the hurlers.

That said he's a panel of 30 or so he needs to be seen to be fair to and if Chin was to receive any special treatment due to his dual commitments then that's going to cause him problems down the line. The press love to latch onto dual players, anything out of the ordinary and Chin ticks quite a few boxes for them in that regard, Dunne needs to treat him the same as the rest irrespective of the side show that comes with him.

Perhaps but I also think the players will accept accommodating guys who can make a difference to their team. It's not as if he is boozing it up or even playing soccer or rugby in preference to committing to hurling. In dual counties you either state you'll accept nothing other than total commitment or you accommodate dual players. If you look for total commitment you need to know you are in a position to do so and Dunne isn't. He had to chase a lot of the footballers so he should tread lightly IMO or he'll be without them soon again.

I'm surprised Dont Matter hasn't picked up on Liam Dunne's post match comment on RTE about the money Dublin get, and how he'd love some of it for counties like Wexford (and I think he said Offaly as well).

Did Liam Dunne pass some remark about Conal Keaney as he walked past while Dunne was being interviewed after the match?
He's making a right tit of himself the last few days.

Jesus wept. Everything that's wrong with RTE's GAA analysis is right there in that article. Clown.

So Joe has anlaysed his own performance as a pundit and came to the conclusion that he is brilliant - there's a surprise!

He thinks he's the voice of the people because some 50 year old man beeps at him in the street in Lurgan and tells him he's brilliant. That person's view is taken on board by the bould Joe but anybody criticising him is "nonsensical". An entertaining man, but he's more suited to Apres Match than The Sunday Game.

Brolly isn't afraid to speak his mind - whether he's right or wrong is neither here nor there.

Some bits in that article are hilarious -

Which brings me to the first rule of punditry: If it is something you would shout at the telly, then have the balls to say it on the telly. And when the Grimley twins appear over the back wall, run... -

What was the consensus on Ricey last night?
I didn't see it myself but a few lads in work here said he came across well, if maybe a bit scruffy and edgy.
